March 19th-Package from Dennis & Carrie


When arriving home from work on Friday night...I was delighted to find a package in our mailbox! Dennis & Carrie Gaul sent us this cute card and gift from South Bend, Michigan.

Matt loves these soft baby socks:

Dennis is Matt's mom's cousin. And Carrie and Matt's mom (Deb) began their friendship in high school. They both work for LifeAction ministries and Carrie works with Nancy Leigh DeMoss & Revive Our Hearts. This couple has become very dear to Matt and I throughout our married years. They have wisdom and discernment that only comes from walking closely with the Lord. Thank you Dennis & Carrie, we love you!

It was a nice surprise at the end of a long week. I could not believe how tired I was this week, how incredibly hungry I was (and in turn ate!) and how much I felt like I was growing! Then I read my pregnancy journal and I felt better...that I must not be crazy: "This was a week of rapid, whole-body growth for your baby. Existing structures became larger and more well developed, but no new structures were formed. The chances are good that this week's growth spurt for your baby also resulted in a growth spurt for you." Absolutely! (this is what I wrote by this statement!)

After a minor meltdown on Saturday of clothes not being able to fit and all of the sudden feeling huge...my wonderful husband took me shopping for a few items for work...to get me through this next stage of growth without busting through all of my clothes! I am not big enough for maternity clothes, nor am I sure that I am a fan of how the pants fit anyway, but a size up in a pair of jeans, a few larger tops and a black trenchcoat that can expand with me was a lifesaver! Thanks, Babe. :)

Awe, those socks are so cute!!

Can you wear jeans for work? There certainly don't seem to be a lot of nice maternity dress pants available from what I have seen.

No, I definitely can't wear jeans for work! However, I see how my post made it sound like that's why we got them! I bought the jeans for play :) But I went up a size in dress pants at Express with Mark & Rosie's gift card from Christmas...so that was a life saver! My belly band makes them expand further also. So I am feeling good about that since I now have shirts that are long enough and baggy enough to wear over the band.

I love the little socks too. How nice of Dennis and Carrie. You look so good and healthy Sonya. I was just praying for your health this morning and then opened up my computer and found another great picture. Thanks for keeping us posted on your progress. Hope this week finds you less tired.
